Question SSD overvoltage, I removed the diode, U30 and U33, still have 17 shorted caps

[kornsoud]

Hi! I removed the diode, U30 and U33 and checked resistances of all the capacitors and resistances between GND and some elements. 17 shorted caps total.

Spoiler: Shorted caps

Spoiler: Resistances between GND and some elements

I put SDRAM, U33 and diode from the donor - all the data has been restored. Thank you for your help! Without you I would never get so far.

@kornsoud, you amaze me! I was holding out very little hope, but you persisted beyond my wildest expectations. Congratulations to you and your repair guy (I wrongly underestimated him).

Same here.
Was not expecting actual success.

Now...@kornsoud...for future issues, please please please art and maintain a good backup routine.

Next time, the drive recovery may not go as well. Either just the physical drive, or drive + data.

It was all thanks to you and another guy from another forum (Nvidia @stuig), the repairman just did what I told him to do. He did it right though.

for future issues, please please please art and maintain a good backup routine.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about right now, thank you! https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/what-is-your-backup-situation-at-home.2997205/
I need some time to process the info.

The exact procedure is less important than doing something.

And actually knowing how to recover.
